Repurposing Wedding Decorations

My husband & I recently celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary. Since then, we have had a lot of major changes in our life. Moving twice has contributed to those major changes, which has made decorating a challenge.

My mom made all of our flower arrangements for our wedding & I couldn't see just putting them in storage or getting rid of them, so I decided to repurpose several of the arrangements in our home. Our living room is decorated in mostly aqua blues & greens so I was able to hang one of the flower arrangements on the wall next to our wedding picture. Below, you can see how the arrangement was used at our wedding & how it is being used in our home now.

 

We had the flower arrangment displayed in front of a photo of us as our guests entered the church. Now, this same arrangement is hanging in our living room next to our wedding picture. I added a sconce with an aqua candle that I found at Ross to complete the arrangement.

 

 

 

Our master bathroom shower curtain is red, brown, cream, with a hint of the same aqua color that we used in our wedding. My husband's mom painted galvanized buckets white that I monogrammed an aqua "B" on for my mom to make the center piece flower arrangements for our reception. We only had about 60 people at our wedding; therefore, we only used about 8 of these buckets. While some of them are still in my parent's attic, I have one in our master bathroom. Since the shower curtain also has red & cream in it, I added some red & cream flowers to the previous aqua arrangement. Below, you can see how I have revamped the wedding arrangment into a piece for our bathroom.

 

 

 

We also had a tall aqua bucket that we purchased at Michael's that was used as an arrangment for our guest book table. I added the same red & cream flowers to that arrangement to create a new look for this arrangement as well.

 

 

 

Lastly, my favorite repurposed piece from our wedding is my bouquet. My mom also put my bouquet together. I didn't want an extravagent bouquet that overpowered the small detail of my dress. Below, you can see a picture of my bouquet at our wedding. 

 

 

I wanted to stick with a simple theme, so I added decorative vase filler rocks that I had laying around the house to a mason jar to create a beautiful display for my bouquet. Our bedroom is decorated in aqua, lime green, & purple, so this $1 doily from Michael's added the perfect touch of color!

 



 

I hope this inspires some of you to repurpose not only wedding decorations, but also other sentimental things that may have stuffed away in your closet or attic. Happy repurposing! :)
